Chapter 27 Cut off

I had to let go of what happened
I believed that Mr Patrick would be back
I opened my door and walked it
My eyes caught a different book on my desk
It looks exactly like that same book I saw in the hand of Mr Patrick s friend when he came to visit him
I closed the door from behind and walked straight to the desk
I opened the book and the first thing I saw was Mr Patrick s picture as he was busy smiling
I smiled back and took the picture
I looked at it for some time before keeping it beside the book and the next thing was what was written on the book
"The future is near" it reads
It was just confusing
I opened the next page
"Victor, you must read this book as soon as possible" that was the next thing that was written there
I took the book and went to sit
As I opened it, my door got opened and Sonia walked in
??????
…. David POV ??
I couldn t forget what happened between me and Dorothy
When I looked into her eyes, I saw butterfly flying inside it
I couldn t figure out what it means but I knew that it wasn t ordinary
I felt my heart being heavy
I guessed, I wasn t myself
"I have few days with you" the demon said from inside me
"I always warn you against love" she added
"We have some hunting to go but if she interferes, she will then be among"
…..
….. Dorothy POV ??
Going to school was no longer in my agenda because I had no reason to
My Uncle was in the police custody and David was yet to be himself
I knew that Jason would be in my house any moment, so I dressed up to see David
I had bought the blood according to my Uncle s direction
I had also roasted meats for him as well
I took a cab that dropped me at the main road
Although it was still far but I had to get down there
I trekked down to the desert
In few minutes, I got to the cave
I stood from far as I watched David walking around his cave
I felt bad for him
I had to plan something very fast
I picked a stone and threw it at the other side of the cave
David roared and jumped out of the cave
I nearly screamed because it seems like he would wound himself
He ran to the direction where I threw the stone while I used the opportunity to rush to the cave
Just I reached there, I peeped and saw David coming back
I gasped and dropped the cup filled with bloods where he was sitting before
I wanted to come out when I saw him coming in
I became scared that I hides behind a wood that was inside the cave as my heart keep beating fast
I could see him through a hole
He was only inhaling, which means he was perceiving presence of someone
He kept doing like that as he walked closer to me
My eyes widened when he almost passed the cup
He turned to that direction and took the cup
He threw everything inside his mouth
I couldn t believe it
He puts hand inside his mouth and brought out the empty cup but it was already useless
He roared again
I think it was a roar of joy ?
I watched him as he sat
He became came
I sigh and walked out from where I was hiding
I walked gently but couldn t take off my eyes from him
He turned with a great speed, and my eyes widened
"I meant no harm" I said raising up my hands
He breathed heavily before returning his eyes
I walked out properly
I carried one of the woods in the cave and sat opposite David
His face was down while I kept looking at him
"Are you hungry?" I asked and he raised up his eyes
My eyes widened because I was just surprised
What if he attacked me?
He nodded while my heart came back to rest
"Am coming" I said and stood up
I rushed out of cave
I collected the roasted meats I came with
He was no longer human, so he would eat nothing but meat
I turned to go back to the cave
I saw David looking at me from there
I smiled before walking back to him
He sat down while I did the same
I brought out the meat and he collected it with a force
He started devouring the meat
In a twinkle of eyes, the meat was gone
I smiled and gave him another one
He devoured it again
I gave him another one but he rejected it
Which means he was satisfied
I smiled and dropped the nylon
"So you are now satisfied?" I asked looking closely
He smiled at me with that dirty teeth
"So can you tell me why you are taking all this revenge?" I asked
He waited for some minutes before telling me the past
??????
…. Jason POV ??
After meeting up with COP Kelly,
I was able to convince him with my trick he agreed to release Mr Ken the following day
I drove straight to Dorothy s house
But when I got there, the gate was locked
I was just confused on where she could be
I had to check her at the police headquarter where her Uncle was
When I got there, Dorothy wasn t there
I requested to see Mr Ken
He later came out with a smile on his face
"Jason" he called sitting opposite me
"I doubt if you are really here" I said while he smiled the more
"Why?" He asked
"You always smile and I doubt it" I replied
"Am just happy that I am not a blockage to what is supposed" he replied
"How do you mean?" I asked because I didn t understand what he said
"Future has been destined, so Dorothy is doing what she supposed" he replied
My mind ran to it
She was also one of the reasons why I came there
I never thought that she would have gone to school
Maybe that was where she went to
"Talking about Dorothy, where is she?" I asked
"She must ve been searching for alternative" he replied
"Okay, actually, I have spoken with COP Kelly and he will release you by next tomorrow" I said
"Am not that worried, just try anything possible to protect David because am sure that COP Kelly won t let him live, if he sees him" he responded
I wondered why COP Kelly wouldn t rest if David didn t die
"I will do as you say, Uncle"
I was only planning within the sense of human but the thing looks like a thing of spirit
Well, I will try the way I would
??????
…. David POV ??
Just as Dorothy left, I began to miss her company
I always feel lonely but she changed it that day
Even though I was no longer human, she still didn t give up on me
When she asked me if I was hungry, I didn t know how to tell her that I don t eat food but bloods and flesh
I never said things on my own
The demon in me always do the talking
She told her about her death
Dorothy felt bad for her and still pleaded her to stop but the demon refused
She said that she has to clear all her victim even though that she didn t tell her who was really her victim
Assuming she had told her, Dorothy would have informed Jason to be careful
"Better stop missing her" she said through me
I didn t say anything
"We have our next mission tomorrow, which is Mrs Luke" she added
I couldn t reply her
??????
…. Jenny POV ??
Dorothy and Jason didn t come to school yesterday and I wasn t surprised because I knew what happened
COP Kelly had told me that Jason met him about Mr Ken
He said that he has to comply because he needs to find David
He said that there was something else about that David but he wouldn t say it until he finds him and would be sure about that
I never thought hard on that because it wasn t necessary to me even though I don t know what he was talking about
My own work was to find David and let him know about it
It was Tuesday morning and I woke up really frustrated
I was never a plan maker and I wondered how I would curb with the assignment
I sluggishly walked into my bathroom and washed my face first
I brushed my teeth as well
I took my bath at the same time
I walked out to my room
My eyes first caught the standing mirror in the room
I looked at myself reflecting on it
I remembered some months ago when I was attacked by David in demon form
Through that same mirror
I never thought about it even though I saw it the first day he came into the class
I exhale before going for my dress
In few minutes later, I was ready to go
I walked straight down for my breakfast, with my bag
My mother was already getting down her own food
I greeted her before sitting down
We ate silently and I left for school
We were coming from a far when I sighted a car parking beside a bush
A lady stepped out of it and to my surprise it was Dorothy
I asked my driver to park which he did
I waited for Dorothy to discharge the cab driver
Immediately the cab driver drove off, I got down and asked my driver to wait while I went after Dorothy
We walked down a very lonely desert
I wondered what Dorothy would be doing there but I still followed her
I tried so hard to maintain a very good distance
I was becoming tired of the unending journey
I stopped when I saw her hiding somewhere
I wondered if she saw me
She picked up a stone and threw it at a spot
I saw a monster jumping out of a cave as he was roaring
I watched the monster running to that direction she threw the stone
Dorothy came out from her hiding place as she rushed into the cave
She dropped something like a cup on top of something
The monster turned immediately towards the cave
He roared again jumping back while Dorothy rushed inside
I couldn t see her anymore
The monster stopped when it gets to the cave he collected the cup and swallowed it
Unbelievable
Just then, Dorothy walked out from where she was hiding
It was then dawn to me that it was David
I gasped
What could she be doing with him in such nature
I brought out my phone and called COP Kelly
I gave him the direction but he insisted I should come out because he didn t understand the direction
…..
…. COP Kelly POV ??
I was with Mr Luke planning on how to get along with Jason s plan when Jenny s call came in
She was really a good partner in working
I told her where I would meet her because the direction she was giving me was not useful
Walking down in a desert with no destination
I informed Mr Luke about the call before leaving
I then had a reason to release Mr Ken
I drove straight to the police headquarter and asked the policemen to free him
I rushed to my car and drove off
"Where are you?" I asked when I called Jenny because she wasn t at the agreed place
"Opposite and forward" she replied while I turned to the other side of the road looking at the top and saw her car there
I had to drive to a U-turn before turning
I met up with her
I never wished to waste time
I ordered her to take the lead
We drove down to the area
??????
…. Dorothy POV ??
It was really nice being with David even in his new nature
I had to try the trick of singing for him
He loves it
He always smile with that his spoiled teeth shining so ugly
I remembered that there was something my Uncle asked me to give David once he starts laughing because his days has started counting and also the thing would reduce the taste of blood for the demon inside him
He also said that he was scared if David would survive it
Even though I doubted that, I still have to spend some time with him
I wouldn t be happy if he left without us having some memory
"I will try my best to save you" I said looking at him while he nodded
"Am coming back" I said before walking out of the cave
I turned and waved at him before going out
I ran as my could carry me
I heard a noise from my back and I turned but David was not close to my sight
I turned and continued running
I got outside and luckily, there was a cab passing by
I stopped it and entered
I had to be fast and also, I had to come with another blood again
??????
….. Jenny POV ??
We were getting closer when I saw a car driving out from that spot Dorothy stopped earlier
I cared less because that wasn t why I was there
"Here" I commanded my driver and he stopped at that same spot
I got down and COP Kelly did the same after getting down
"Is it here?" He asked closing his door
"Yes, let s start with the next journey" I said and took the lead
"are you sure it is here?" COP Kelly asked when We walked almost half of it
"Am very sure" I replied
"How can someone have mind to come inside here, just to visit a monster?" He asked but we didn t stop walking
"I wondered as much, am suspecting if Dorothy is the brain behind this" I said
I didn t know why I hated everyone like that
"She can t be" he replied
"Why did you say so?" I asked as I stopped and turned to face him
"I can tell something from nature" he replied
"Let s continue please" he added
"Whatever" I said turning to continue
It wasn t long when we got to the cave
"There" I said pointing at it
COP Kelly brought out his gun and cocked it
He pointed it at the cave and walked gently, closer to it
I followed him as he kept moving
He got inside and something fell off from top while COP Kelly shot it
I wanted to laugh but I held myself
We searched everywhere but David was nowhere to be found
Even Dorothy was gone
"Are you very sure that this is the place?" COP Kelly asked
"Am very sure because I saw both of them" I replied as we walked inside the cave again
"But he doesn t hunt in day, so where could he be?" He asked for no one to reply because I didn t know either
I raised up one of the cups in there and blood dropped from it
"I need to discover something" COP Kelly said taking one of those cups with a cloth on his hand
"Oh, no service" he added before leaving there
??????
…. David POV ??
Just as Dorothy left, the demon in me take over
She said that there was something we needed to do for that day
Which was to hunt down Jason s mother
I wanted to go against it but how could I?
When I wasn t myself
I jumped out from my cave and followed the other side since Dorothy was still at the other side
There was no destination but I knew that I was going somewhere
??????
…. Dorothy POV ??
After getting what I came for, I rushed out and met with the same cab driver that just dropped me because I asked him to wait for me
I entered and he drove off
Back to where he picked me up
I couldn t had done all I did if not for the savings my Uncle did before he was arrested
I had no intention to regain it but all I wanted was to achieve my goals
Likewise my Uncle
As we got to the place, he dropped me and drove off while I walked down the desert
I got to the cave and threw the stone as usual but I didn t see any sign of David
I slowly, walked to the cave
I checked around but David was not there
I wondered where he could be
My mind ran to what I saw earlier when I was leaving there
I could remember seeing COP Kelly s car but how did he know that it was there
I remembered that there was a car before he s but I couldn t remember the car owner
I scratched my hair because I knew that if it was what I was thinking, that means they were in a very big problem
David wouldn t spare them
Or could it mean that he killed them and took away their bodies
But that couldn t be possible
I ran out from there
I had to go
Maybe to COP Kelly s office
??????
….Mrs Luke POV ??
It was a very big important meeting about my business
A very hot one because it was the executive one that has always been once in a year
The venue was in the most biggest conference hall in Paris
"Ma am the secretary called, she said that it is almost time " one of my receptionist called to inform me
"I will be ready" I responded
I took my time to get myself ready before walking out of my office
Speaking about myself, I love my business more than any other things
My only child I love was no more
Even though I was very very hurt, I still had to accept the fact and let it pass by
I got inside the car and my driver drove off
He puts in my favorite music
We were at the venue when I sighted one of my partner in crime I killed some years ago
She was standing close to a car
I wondered how come she was still alive because I remembered that the assassin shown me the picture of her lying on her cold blood
"Just parked" I commanded my driver and he did
I got down from the car and rushed to meet her but she leaves from that spot and began to walk inside the building
I widened my eyes and rushed as fast as I could
If she was to be there, that means mine was gone
I ran after her and she changed her direction towards the backyard
I followed her immediately
I almost called her name when she disappeared
I couldn t believe it as I ran back as my legs could carry me
I hits someone and fell on the floor
I determined to slap a hell out of the person when I stood up
Just as I raised up my head, I couldn t believe it, I was seeing a monster before me
??????
…. Mr Ken POV ??
I arrived from the station
I got delayed after when COP Kelly came to inform me that I would be released
His co-workers were just headache to me
After some hours, I was asked to leave
I got home but everywhere was locked
Dorothy was not around and I was sure that she must have gone to see David
I stood at the gate to make a plan
Just then, a car drove to my direction and parked
It was Jason
"Jason dear" I said
"Good afternoon" he greeted
"I guess this is your handwork" I said waving my hand as a free man
"I have to, please where is Dorothy and David?" He asked
He seems worried
"Am just coming back" I replied
"But she said that she was going to meet you, the very day she got missing from my eyes and David is not yet back" he said
"Am just confused" he added
A message bumped into his phone and he checked it
"What!" He asked himself as surprise was written on his face
"What is the problem?" I asked
"David, a camera is recording him and he is devouring someone" he replied
My eyes widened as I walked closer to him
It was true
"Do you know the place?" I asked
"Yes, I need to go there because my mind is telling me something" he said rushing back to his car
"Can I come with you?" I asked
"Yes" he responded
I rushed immediately
??????
…. COP Kelly POV ??
I was just thinking about what next to do after coming out from the desert
I went to a nearby restaurant to cool off my head
"This is too hard" Jenny complained
"Don t worry again, you have tried" I responded
"I won t rest until he is captured because am scared" she said while I smiled
A notification disturbed my conversation
I had to check it
To my greatest surprise, it was who we were looking for
"Oh my God" I said
"What s that?" Jenny asked as she jumped, running towards where I sat
"Oh my God!" She screamed also
She was calling attention already
"Let s go there" she added
That has been my opportunity
I stood up and we rushed to our cars
The location wasn t far or difficult
In few minutes, we were there
I parked and rushed to the place
Everyone was just recording it and David was only bending his head towards the victim
He was done with what he was doing but it was left with how he would disappear from there
No one has the courage to approach him
I brought out my gun because it was my opportunity
??????
….. Dorothy POV ??
I was just lost in thought that I had no idea of what to do next because I went to COP Kelly s office and they told me that he not yet back and my Uncle was no longer in their custody
I had to go home first to meet my Uncle so that we would plan together
I was on my way with a cab when we met a crowded area
I wondered what could be the problem
I ignored it and asked the cab driver to continue
We were almost out of there when I sighted COP Kelly s car
My mind ran to David
"Stop!!" I shouted and the cab driver forced the car to stop
I rushed down and straight to the crowd
I managed to make a way to the front
I saw COP Kelly pointing gun at something and I looked at that direction which was where everyone was looking at
It was David and someone was already down
"David" COP Kelly called for his attention as he cocked the gun
I remembered that my Uncle once said
"If any bullet touches him, he would die instantly"
I looked at COP Kelly and back to David who was turning slowly
From where I stood to COP Kelly was far to be compared with my distance from David
I had only one thing in mind, which was to stop the bullet from touching David
"Oh no!!" I screamed running towards David direction
Just as I reached there, COP Kelly pulled the trigger and it finds its way into my stomach
I fell back but David held me
"Please run" I managed to say
David looked at COP Kelly who was surprised on what he was seeing
I shook my head negatively
"Run" I repeated
He left me and jumped to a car
COP followed him with a shot but David was too fast to jump over the fence
I smiled before collapsing
…..
We got to the location and everywhere was crowded
There was no need to watch it again through my phone
I had to slide it into my pocket
Just then, we heard a sound of gun
"Oh no" Mr Ken said
I turned to look at him
"He doesn t need to be shot" he added before finding his way through the crowd
Before Mr Ken could get inside, I sighted David jumping over the fence
COP Kelly rushed out from the crowd, following him but before then David was long gone
I couldn t help it but to smile
I remembered that Dorothy was nowhere to be found, I forced myself through the crowd as well
I was able to get to the front and I saw Mr Ken holding Dorothy
Her legs were on the floor while her back was leaning on Mr Ken s hand
I turned to my right hand side
I saw Jenny standing there like a lost goat
COP Kelly later came back with his gun
Just as Mr Ken carried Dorothy up, an ambulance arrived
I turned to where David s victim was lying
Her face was already damaged
The first ambulance took Dorothy and Mr Ken away while the second one took David s victim
I wondered who could that be
The crowd was clearing when I walked up to COP Kelly
"Are you satisfied?" I asked with a serious look
"You better comply or else, your father will disown you" he responded while I smiled
"You gotta try something else, that threat doesn t make sense" I replied still smiling
"Where the hell did you take his mother to?" He asked
I couldn t think of one thing
What could be in his mind?
"Are you still following me? What is her crime?" I asked
"It might be too late for you" he said instead
"Jenny let s go" he added before walking out
Jenny turned to look at me
"Better wise up" she said
"I should be telling you that" I responded while she hissed before walking out
